Apostle of Cthulhu

Lantern area, market.

The crowds are bustling, and various goods are placed on both sides of the wide street. People with severely polarized clothing gather here to select some things that are not common in the market.

"Rich people from Fuling City often come here because compared to the other three areas, the 'market' here has more types of goods and a larger storage capacity. It is very popular with those who want to get in touch with related cultures. sought after by the upper class.”

Si Wei had already constructed a picture in his mind. A young man from a rich family who had never left the ivory tower was paying a high price at an auction for an egg that ordinary people knew.

The lack of basic knowledge, coupled with the daily life of knowing everything, makes them more curious about some things and more difficult to control, so they naturally end up in this place.

It is precisely because of these rich people coming here that many thieves in the Bonfire area who cannot find prey will come here to try their luck. They are usually children who use their age as a cover to deceive young men who have just grown up and have no contact with society and get their money.

Wherever Si Wei looked, he could see a thief quickly stealing a rich man's wallet and escaping when he passed by him.

"These little brats..." Waff also saw that scene, but he didn't want to stop it.

Although he now lives in the Lantern District, when he was a child, Waff also grew up in the Bonfire District and had a natural hostility towards the rich.

This is why the relationship between Waf and the original owner is not very good.

The road information in the market was extremely complicated. In order to avoid the situation just now, Si Wei had stuffed his wallet into the inner pocket of his clothes and buttoned his windbreaker to avoid the possibility of being stolen as much as possible.

Wafu looked very casual, and Siwei guessed that he didn't bring a wallet at all.

There are banks in this world. As long as you carry an ID card that can prove your identity, you can withdraw your assets from the bank.

Wa Fu led Si Wei through the not-too-crowded crowd, turned into alleys one after another, and finally stopped in front of a particularly remote "chandlery".

I took a look at the plaque on the store, Versailles General Store.

"Versailles..." Si Wei rubbed his temples.

Waff walked to the door of the store carelessly, knocked on the door of the grocery store, and said: "Boss! Are you there? I'm here to pick up the goods!"

There was no response at the door for a long time, and Waff was extremely patient. After knocking once, he stood still at the door and did not say to continue making noise. Instead, he turned to look at Si Wei: "Do you know why this place is called Versailles Sundry Store?" ?”

"You might as well ask me why this place is called Fulingdu." Si Wei answered simply, expressing the degree of his mental retardation in this question.

Wafu explained: "The owner of this store is not a simple person. I will only tell you about this... He used to be a member of the CTHULHU expedition team!"

Hearing this, Si Wei's eyes narrowed. The owner of this store is actually a member of the CTHULHU inspection team? Are you very lucky?

"It is said that Professor Cordis especially liked to say to this boss, 'Why do you speak so Versailles literary?' Over time, this adjective became the exclusive noun of this shop owner, and even the name of the shop after he retired. Call this!"

To a certain extent, Waff's words corroborated Siwei's conjecture. He did not think that the "Versailles literature" stemmed from the local world.

In other words, Curtis Brandt was another time traveler before Si Wei.

But now she is missing.

This woman created a miracle to reveal the truth to the world, but then disappeared dramatically. Some people even speculated that this woman was actually a character fabricated by the empire to explain those "unknown" existences.

But the CTHULHU expedition team is indeed a real team, and their memories represent the truth.

The door of the shop opened, and a handsome man in casual clothes leaned on the door frame with one hand. He looked at Waff with the expression of a street gangster, "It's you... Who did I think he was..."

"Let me introduce to you, Mr. Jack McHowden, this is a history professor at Nanyoku University, his name is Si Wei!"

Jack waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me, I often hear his name at noble banquets, and I was also fortunate enough to meet him in person at a banquet at Nanyoku University."

Si Wei stretched out his hand towards Jack, "Nice to meet you, Mr. McHowden."

Without shaking hands, Jack turned around and said, "Just call me Mr. Jack. Since I left the aristocratic life, I'm not used to these calls."

Si Wei felt that something was wrong. He was not speaking to Jack as a servant. Why was this man speaking inexplicably?

And it's always there: aristocratic banquets, university dinners, aristocratic life, etc... He is indeed a standard Versailles man.

Waff laughed and patted Si Wei on the shoulder, "Don't mind it! He is just like that, but he is actually a pretty good person. Try to get along with him, and you will understand the benefits of being friends with him!"

Shaking his head secretly, Si Wei said: "Let's follow Mr. Jack in first. Picking up the goods is the most important thing."

"Okay!" Wafu tidied his sleeves to ensure that they would not get dirty when moving things later, "Let's follow him in!"

The two walked into the door of the Versailles Grocery Store. The whole store was not bright enough, the air was a little turbid, and even the space was a little crowded. There were all kinds of things piled up around, even things that Siwei had never seen or heard of.

Jack and Wafu seemed to have gone to another room to move things. Siwei was bored, so he sat in front of the counter and casually observed the things around him.

The interior of the store was neglected, that's for sure, otherwise there wouldn't be so much dust piled up. Each item looked very messy, but as long as you look closely, you will know that each type of item is actually placed together, but it's just not placed properly.

This shows that Jack has a sense of organization, but it's a pity that he is lazy.

During the observation, Siwei saw a very strange thing.

It was a pendant, and the decorations hanging on it were nine round objects connected in series, and there were some star-like embellishments around it. Based on the different radii and the rings around some of the circular faces, Si Wei thought it looked like the eight planets in the solar system plus the sun itself.

He was curious, so he stood up and walked to the wall, reaching out to touch the pendant.

He turned it over and saw five words on it.
